Going green is patriotic and profitable

By Reps. Roscoe Bartlett (R-Md.) and Tom Udall (D-N.M.), and Allison Macfarlane

June 27, 2007

While "going green" is certainly good for the planet and good for the people who live on the planet, there's a case to be made that even the climate change skeptics can believe in: Going green is also good for profits and patriotism.

Bartlett is a member of the House Science and Technology Committee, Udall is a member of the House Appropriations Committee and Macfarlane is associate professor of Environmental Science and Policy at George Mason University.
